While we were in Kauai last fall, we frequented several outdoor art fairs. At this one, in Kapa'a, I was looking for some coffee and came across this girl and a lizard she had been playing with. As a bonus, her mom was selling coffee. I asked if it would be okay to take her picture, the mom was okay with it, but the girl did not seem used to having her picture taken with anything other than a phone. While it is not the greatest picture, I still like it and hope you do as well.
Hopefully everyone is doing okay out there in this crazy world. Take care of yourselves and those around you. B
While we were shooting Mardi Gras house floats, I had the opportunity to shoot other great details all over town! I am especially fond of the old ironwork that is just everywhere!
HFF!
New Orleans, LA
Any encounter with mystery—most typically in a peak experience, but potentially at any moment in daily life—spontaneously triggers awe, the primal religious feeling. Awe is a paradoxical mixture of irresistible attraction and deeply stirring dread. We can observe both these aspects by watching a small child being awed by the waves at the beach: the child is enticed and at the same time scared by this encounter. Every time a wave draws back, the toddler crows with delight and tries to chase after it, but when the wave starts to return, the little one screams in frightened excitement and scrambles toward the shore.

While visiting my daughters house I was looking for something common I could capture with the camera. She has small gardens throughout her yard. This particular garden was by the basement window on the side of her house. I found the color and simplicity very attractive. It was a really good day shooting various things around her property. This one I wanted to share on Flickr. Thanks for viewing my work stay safe and be kind. Don’t forget the mask up and enjoy your day.
While on board a ship in the Gulf of Mexico, we were visited by a variety of avian guests. This brown pelican made a nice target for my camera.
While looking for Elk that were too far away to photograph, we found this beautiful Bobcat walking through the dry brush near the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse in San Simeon, California 8/21/21.
Always alone, while strolling along these fractured shores.
Biding my time, ever soaring up high with shooting stars.
Cracking a smile, while singing quietly these unheard songs.
Drifting inward, and laughing nonstop to a strange inner space.
Continuing the "Nature on Ice" series. Getting back to some more experimental cosmic candy. I'm still trying to get some Winter ideas out of the bucket. Spring shall return shortly. Wishing my Flickr friends a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for the favs and kind compliments. They are much appreciated!
The forest department had set up small water troughs (20 cms diameter) in the forest for small birds - while they set up large water troughs (15 - 20 feet diameter) on the ground for animals. As summer comes, these become quite busy and are a great place for sightings.
The White Bellied Blue flycatcher is another endemic of the Malabar forest in India and a pretty serious looking detective type of bird that stares suspiciously for a long time. This was a lifer and on the first day, I was amazed by the birds ability to sit and stare for minutes together without moving.
And in the background was a Brown Cheeked Fulvetta - a small super active bird found much of the subcontinent. They are social birds that are seen in flocks and known for their loud calls.
As soon as the Fulvetta came to the water trough - it was like a kid - lets have fun - dived straight into the water and was making merry. The flycatcher though landed on the edge and stared at the photographers like a minute before slowly taking a dip. I used the opportunity to take a long exposure shot 1/10 sec and am quite happy with the outcome!
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
The fallen Autumn leaves still on this woodland scene in spring added interest and a bit of a lead in through the scene to the light.
Its a while since I posted a proper landscape shot that wasn’t ICM and ive a few still lurking on my hard drive to post process from winter and spring trips!
While she is quite adept at manipulating people through subtle machinations, Mysteria is much less subtle when it comes to making grand entrances.
While in Central Oregon, I took the chance to stop by and see this waterfall for the first time. Turns out I had been right by it in the past, and didn't even know it :)
Happy Waterfall Wednesday :)
While watching the waves, for a moment I thought I'm somewhere else and the time is different.
I had to get away from the everyday rush and clear my mind. I found my peace here, at the shore of Lake Ontario. The weather wasn't good. It was windy and cloudy, but it didn't matter ...
While driving down Rt 66 we came across this 57 Chevy stopped at the Wagon Wheel Hotel. I could not help but stop to capture the moment.

Brown Hare, with bleeding ear, caused by another Hare, during a boxing session. Only just caught the end as we pulled up, one day I will capture it. Taken in Norfolk.
While shooting birds today, I thought I'd try to get these fast movers in flight with my 800mm. Phew!
While I was watching the local Eagles this little fellow appear above my head. He is seeming to say, "The my picture too!"
While many other places in the northern hemisphere are showing signs of warming weather, we continue to demonstrate why it is not the weather that drew us here. No, ironically we came for the jobs.

While back east during the process of putting my young lad to rest after his untimely and tragic demise earlier in February of this , I wandered through several of my old photographic haunts like Hoboken NJ, the wonderful Erie Lackawanna Ferry-Rail Terminal now utilized by New Jersey Transit, PATH and New York Waterway today. The green patina of the oxidized copper adorns it’s exterior.

While you drive towards Vík í Mýrdal from Reykjavik you cannot miss the beautiful white church with the red roof. It is a wooden church built in 1929 up on the hill. The surrounding area is also interesting.
While taking a couple of distant photos of this barred owl it suddenly became alerted and flew directly toward me making a catch just 15 ft. in front of me. Unfortunately I didn't have the camera set for a flight shot but did take a photo of the owl covering the catch from where I was standing before quickly backing away leaving it to enjoy the catch. I'm guessing this is one of the three spring owlets.
Thank you for viewing

Just before I had seen from home that two roe deer raced after each other, one of them broke off the chase (which turned out to be a buck) and had already come back to graze near the fawns and now the female also rushed back
While a security gorilla was shouting at me from downstairs and his dog barking, I could spot this locomotive shunting at ROMCIM Medgidia
while hunting for another photo in my vast store of "stuff", I ran into the photo on the left. I don't know how, or when, or why, but I thought I'd to invert and see what was there. It's definitely me, I must have been working on making negatives at the time.
one of life's mysteries.
on the right is the inversion.
I tried searching on my stream, but it was quite a task. dunno whether I've used this photo before or not.
ah, I did find a version here from Sept 2016. I was working on oiled paper negatives.
**tonight I donated to Razom for Ukraine and World Central Kitchen.
please don't forget Ukraine. they still need food, clothing, and medical supplies.
NO MORE WAR! enough....
While visiting the Roman ruins at Italica, Spain, I was fascinated by the combination of palm trees & pines - a mixture that I would never see at home. The morning light was sublime!

While most people were enjoying there extra hour in bed i was leaving my house at 5.45am and heading towards Bath. The plan was to head for Bathampton but due to road closures because of Bristol/Bath Marathon and getting a bit lost i ended up at Limpley Stoke. I had been there before but never with my camera and the mist rising before dawn made me stop there and try to get some images. I hope you enjoy what i captured.
While visiting a lake on the edge of a forest where there were some interesting raptors and large Owls sighted - we came across this dead tree - standing solo in the dried up lake bed. The tree was fascinating, but there are not many birds on it surprisingly. When we took a closer look - sighted these Owlets living in it - no surprise.
They were wide eyed about our presence and had a mixture of curiosity, suspicion and alarm about what we could do. We sat on the banks some distance away and enjoyed watching them. Luckily the weather was awesome and it was a memorable day.
These are resident owls in the country and a lot more common than I thought and what most people think. Behind my house in the university there are almost 6-7 of them and sometimes in the night we can hear their calls and fights.
Thank you so much in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
While I am impressed by the additional mask capabilities of Lightroom I would say the Sky selection masking needs some work IMHO, on every image where I have used it has left a halo when I bring the image into Photoshop for final tweaking. Oct and early November are great times of the year to capture lake mist or more technically radiation fog, this occurs because the water has absorbed and retained the suns heat as air that has been cooled by the night temperatures that is moisture laden passes over warmer water of the lake. This scene is of my favorite places to welcome the morning and take in the light show as the sun rises at least when I don’t have a camera in hand and a cup of steaming coffee instead.
I took this on Oct 23rd, 2021 with my D850 and Tamron 15-30 f2.8 G2 Lens at 30mm, 1/5s, f8 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Topaz ,and DXO
